Lost 30 lbs in 6 months. Can anyone tell me my body type? I am lost.

Hi everyone. So I went to H&M tonight and tried on a dress that I ended loving! However I am on a weight loss journey and want to lose at least another 20 lbs before I buy it. I have been obese/ overweight all my life and I have lost almost 30 lbs so far and I cant quite distinguish what my body type is. Keep in mind I am the smallest ive been since HS.

What is my body type? I am still perplexed. I always thought I was an apple shape but at this point I am not so sure! I am not self aware of these things and I need a little help as my eyes may fail to see something. Any imput greatly appreciated! I guess this is a semi victory post too, as I can fit in something like this without feeling 100% disgusted haha :)

EDIT: Forgot the pictures sorry!

I feel out of control around food

Hi there,

So I'm posting this from a throwaway because a lot of people in my real life know my reddit username and well...I'm a little ashamed.

​

I'm 23, 5'3 SW: 175 CW: 132 GW: 120

​

I've been losing weight very slowly over the last 5 or so years. I was sitting at 140 for about 2 years before I decided to get serious and start working on my weight loss again. I lost 10 pounds between October and December thanks to CICO and this sub. Maintained that for awhile, gained back 5 in the last month or so because of exam stress.

​

Now I'm trying to get back on track, eating 1200-1300 calories a day and I've lost a few pounds again, but I'm finding it really hard to control myself around food. I think I've always had this problem but it didn't become apparent until I tried to lose weight. Every night I go to bed and think "tomorrow is a new day, don't get yourself down about how you ate today" but It doesn't matter how much I vow not to do it again, as soon as food is in front of me, I want it. I want to take a huge portion at dinner. I want to eat the bag of chips. I want to eat the chocolate bar. Not because I'm hungry, just because I want to eat it . I literally feel like I can't control myself and I don't know what to do. I try to eat balanced meals (fat, carbs and protein in all 3 meals usually) and again, it's not like I'm even hungry.

​

I feel like a slave to my cravings and I don't know what to do. Can anyone give me any advice?

Bullet Journalling Anyone?

I don't usually upload images so I hope I've done this right!

I have been bullet journalling and have found it extremely helpful, so wanted to reach out and see if anyone has been doing the same, and if you have any advice! I have my "re-useable" page for a meal plan, where I can remove sticky notes each week and re-use the page. I have a weight loss tracker that I recently started and I get to colour in squares as I lose the pounds! I've also given myself non-rood rewards for milestones. I have a daily workout that I rotate along with my steps/runs. I also use "habit trackers" on my monthly spreads where I track my day to day goals (like taking my vitamins, frequency of my workouts). Here's what I use, anyone have any spreads they find helpful! Would love to see what everyone has!

I'm trying to heal - and my body is next. Advice?

Let me start with a few details here. I'm male, 20 years old, and my broke ass is about to finish my third year of college. 6'1, 305 pounds, so far no major health issues. I want to get down to 210. I mostly want to lose weight for health reasons (heard too many stories of heart disease) though looking good for the ladies won't hurt either. I'm not looking to get shredded or be super thin, but I want to at least be seen as...like a 7/10.

However, while this is by no means an excuse, I've struggled with severe depression and self-esteem issues for the past 7 years. I can't look in the mirror without hating what I see. Since I discovered and started therapy I've begun to heal, and I've decided that I want to lose the weight.

I understand the health benefits of cardio, but I DESPISE cardio. I also very much enjoy food, so I don't want to get on a strict diet (though knowing when to stop eating is one of my biggest issues, as well as less soda). I also don't have access to a gym, nor do I want to obtain access to a gym.

What can I do to achieve my goal? I've never been a 'weight loss' guy before this, so I don't know what exactly to do.

Losing motivation

I’ve lost 27 lbs since the New Year and while I should be proud of myself, all I can feel is discouraged since I was steadily loosing two lbs a week in the beginning months and now it’s slowed down. I currently weight 217 lbs and I won’t feel happy until i finally hit onederland again. Am I being unreasonable? I’m trying to stay motivated but i really wanted to hit 199 by the summer time and I’d have have to lose 2lbs a week until July 1st to hit this goal.

I’m sorry I’m just venting but weight loss can be so dang frustrating! :( I feel like I should still Be loosing at a faster pace because I’m still very much overweight (F/26/5’6’’) I think most of my frustration lies in the fact that I lost 30lbs three years ago and then gained it all back plus some extra. So even though I’ve lost I’m still heavier than my lowest three years ago and I don’t feel proud of my progress :(

Why can you do this?

It's so easy to come up with excuses for why we can't eat healthy and exercise. I'm going to think positive, here are the reasons I can do this.

​

Feel free to comment yours!

​

1. My new job has a gym
2. I have friends who I can go to gym classes with.
3. These gym classes are near my house.
4. I can afford healthy food
5. My SO supports my weight loss
6. It's coming into summer! Lovely weather to be out walking.
7. I know how to do it.
8. I take ages to get going on a goal but when I'm in the zone, there's no stopping me
9. I have lots of freezer space
10. I need to save money and sleep better anyways, home cooking and exercise help with this big time.

My previous personal relationship hindered my health physically and mentally, now it’s contributing to my newfound determination.

I was in a toxic relationship off and on for 4 years. It was something I never thought I’d do.

When we met, I was well into my fitness journey. I had gone from 179 (weight I kept from my last pregnancy) to 143. At 5’4 it was still a bit overweight but I had been pretty toned at this point and looked slimmer than the actual weight.

Then I met this guy. Swept me off my feet. I wanted to spend as much time with him as I could before he’d leave for weeks at a time (musician). This meant lots of partying, lots of dinner dates, lots of Netflix.

Things started to get toxic when it started becoming an issue of me going places without him. An issue of me talking to any man, you’ve heard the story before.

So I gained all that weight back. He would criticize any food I ate, he’d poke fun at my femininity. I started hiding the fact that I’d eat candies at work, or grabbing food from the drive through in secret.

It took me two years to get from 180 down to 155 and fluctuating. All the result of getting dumped by him. But he’d come back around and tell me he was proud of my weight loss but then trying to micro manage me like I was a child. I ate my feelings. I’ve been up and down.

Now that he’s gone, I have more determination than ever to be better than I was before. It’s kind of a fuck you to him. But a blessing to me that I don’t need his validation for me to complete my own journey and do it my way.

I’ve learned a lot. I’m still heartbroken sure, but I lost time I can’t get back, I’ve lost some dignity, self respect and trust. I lost my own journey in health and in life. I stopped living for me. It’s not going to hold me back anymore, I’ll cry at the gym if I have to.

Also, I’m gonna look great when I get to Croatia in July/August.
